What is the best way for a married couple to celebrate their 1st year wedding anniversary ? Spending a week in Maui sounds like an awesome idea, and thats what Andrew and Florence just did !! And hows the feeling shooting portrait in Maui ?? It is absolutely BEYOND awesome ! All the tropical plants, all the beautiful beaches, magnificent scene everywhere.

Lets look at some highlight of Andrew and Florence 1st year anniversary portrait we took in Hawaii last week.

Getting so excited for the Shoot/ Vacation in Maui from 11/18 to 11/24. Stay tuned for a lot of images !!! Looking forward to snorkel, to see the Sunrise from the volcano top, to hike in the forest, and see a lot of waterfalls !!! And of course a lot of images for the anniversary shoot of Andrew and Florence. Four of us, ME, Andrew, Florence and my sister !!! Fun time ahead !

Cecil and David got to be one of my favourite couples. They visited me couple months ago, said they were planning their wedding in 2010, but they wanted to do some formal portrait and some engagement type portrait first. Cecil had couple locations in her mind before the shoot, she wants something San Francisco, something unique and something that can show their personalities. As Cecil is a wine maker and we decided to include one of the shooting location in a private winery in San Francisco, and I totally made this a Wine theme as u can see in the highlight slideshow below.

The best customer service ! I mean THEY provided me the best customer service , funny huh ? We began our first shooting location in the winery, when I got there with my equipment, they’ve already dressed up and what pleasantly surprised me was… they have glasses of white wine ready for me already. How could I not love them , first time I could enjoy glass(es) :P of wine before the shoot ! NICE !!!.

Oh, I haven’t finished yet, Cecil and David was so kind they even gave me a bottle of wine they made as a gift to me and appreciated my hard work. Yay, I love people who appreciated my creativity, I love people who appreciated my effort taking care of them, I love people who appreciated photographers !!

It has been a while since the last time I did fashion shooting, yes, it was like 6 months ago. Today, I did a fashion shoot with 3 other photographers for Image Procateur . Here are some quick sneak peek images from today’s shoot in Vallejo ! Love to do fashion once in a while to just get inspired.
